Thanks for all the discussion. Went to Le Paradis this week - good to great food at reasonable prices, good service, laid back atmosphere. We paid $40 for bottle of wine which retails at LCBO for $18.95, very reasonable markup of 111%. 5oz glass of same wine at $8.95 works out to mark-up of 139% which is fair/good for a glass. Being the holiday season, we enjoyed a fair bit of wine which we are happy to do when markups are fair. We rarely do so at restaurants that have high markups or even avoid them altogether as we did in selecting where to go this week. Btw, Chris Nuttall-Smith, Globe and Mail, commented on wine mark-ups in his Dec 22, 2012 restaurant review (of another restaurant).
